Open source goodies: Frakkin' Sweet edition

This kicks off a new series/topic on GFR - multiplatform, open-source gaming gems. Like trillions of Americans, my wife and I were all goosebumped-out and yowling in protest when the season finale of Battlestar Galactica (no, not Battlestar Galactica - what rock have you been under?) ended. In addition to being an amazing episode and the most jaw-dropping cliffhanger of a season finale since everyone got shot on the West Wing finale, it also presents the problem of having no BSG fix until 2008.

2008?!? What the frak?

So what's a nugget to do? Well, hop into your own Viper and frag some toasters! Thanks to an open-source, fan-powered total conversion of Freespace, GFR is happy to tip you off on the best free flight sim ever: Beyond the Red Line.

You can download the game demo for Mac, Linux or PC, and get to fragging right away. It's amazingly well done, and reminds me of Wing Commander before that series got all crappy.

Get downloading! Get shooting! Get happy!
